04.16.2008 — ELAN Home Systems has released VIA!TOOLS 8.2, an upgrade of VIA!TOOLS multiroom home systems setup software.

VIA!TOOLS 8.2 features two new applications that enable ELAN’s N800 wireless handheld controller – the VIA!migo iPod Integration Dock and the VIA!dj II Digital Music Servers.

Users now have portable control of any compatible iPod docked with ELAN’s VIA!migo and music libraries stored in VIA!dj II servers.

“Our latest VIA!TOOLS update was developed in direct response to our Dealer’s most requested features, now making all of our controls even easier to use and spec into every system,” says president and CTO Bob Farinelli.

“The sheer number of features added in this release rank it among our top VIA!TOOLS releases to date.”

With VIA!TOOLS’ new VIA!migo and VIA!dj II applications, the N800 Handheld Controller now has 2-way control of four ELAN entertainment sources, including the XM-R3 Triple Satellite Audio Receiver and DTNR Digital Dual Tuner.

VIA!TOOLS 8.2 can be downloaded for free.
